Dear editor,
Regarding the recent letters objecting to the road closures in the Comox Valley on Sept. 25.
Do you people not get it? We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and you can't get out of your car for a couple of hours and enjoy it?
I used to look down on my neighbors in Courtenay and Cumberland (as I am sure most of us Comoxians do) as an inferior place to live, but after the decision against Car Free Sunday in Comox, I am having second thoughts.
I am sure whoever supported this decision are the same broad-minded individuals who voted to keep building drive-thrus in our little town. Are you also the same residents who lock their vehicles when you run in to buy a pack of smokes?
I guess I am the one who is not that bright, as I never locked my car in Calgary either!
Well, the good news to the council members and their supporters, I won't be running again for mayor this term. (My wife won't let me.)
Rob (Norton) McBride,
Comox
